I tell this story at a daycare I do volunteer work at every year around Halloween. It scares the crud outta the little kids but when I say that anyone who wasn't scared by the story gets candy, they calm down.(I have to admit that it freaked ME out when I first heard it!)
THE TAILYPO
There was a man a long time ago and he had 3 dogs named Opi, Munch and Calico.(I have NO idea why he named a DOG Calico) One day he and his dogs went hunting but all they caught was an itty bitty bunny rabbit.("A bunny?" "Please be quiet, Quinn. Jessica's trying to tell the story.")(Jessica is me.) It was getting dark so the man figured he'd have to have just the rabbit. He went home to his 2-room cabin and skinned and boned and gutted the rabbit. He put the rabbit in a pot of water over the fireplace, sat down in his favorite chair and began to read a book. Suddenly, a black squirell-like creature came in through the partially opened door!("What does 'partially' mean?" It means "a little bit" Mathew.)The man quickly grabbed his ax and the chase was on! He managed to cut off the creature's tail, but that's all he got. The creature ran back out the door followed by a *SLAM*! "And STAY OUT!" yelled the man, still holding the tail he had chopped off. Looking at the tail, he decided to toss it into the pot with the cooking rabbit. You can guess where it ended up a few minites later! Later that night, being well fed, the man decided that it was getting around time for some Z's, so he went to bed.(This is where the scary part comes in!) And then he heard a sound that sounded like...
"TAILYPO... TAILYPO... I WANT MY TAILYPO..."
The man was scared so he sent his dogs after the thing-whatever it was-that made the noise. 2 of the dogs came back with nothing. Opi was gone. And then the man heard the noise again...
"TAILYPO... TAILYPO... I WANT MY TAILYPO..."
This time the man was freaked. He sent the 2 dogs he still had after it. Calico came back with nothing. Munch was gone. The man was worried that-- Wait-- There's that noise again...
"TAILYPO... TAILYPO... I WANT MY TAILYPO..."
The man was petrified with fear. He sent his only remaining dog-even though he didn't want to-after the noise. No one came back. Calico was gone. And then he heard a scratching noise just above his door. And THEN..... The black creature came BACK! The man was so scared he could only say "What do you want from me?!?" The creature gave its demand.
"TAILYPO... TAILYPO... I'M GONNA GET MY TAILYPO..."
And the creature slashed at the man with its razor sharp claws!!!
Nowadays, all that is left of the cabin is the chimney, but if you go there at midnight, at a full moon, you can hear a faint whisper...
"TAILYPO... TAILYPO... I FINALLY GOT MY TAILYPO..."
